The review by Inspector General Glenn A. Fine is an outgrowth of the political controversy over a 2008 voter intimidation case against members of the New Black Panther Party. Some conservative lawyers, politicians and commentators have said that the civil rights division improperly narrowed that case, part of their broader allegations that the Obama Justice Department has failed to protect the civil rights of white voters.

The department's Office of Professional Responsibility is looking into the matter, and two Republican congressmen, Frank R. Wolf (Va.) and Lamar Smith (Tex.) asked Fine to also investigate the department's handling of the case, according to letters the congressmen sent Fine over the summer.

Fine, in a letter Monday to the congressmen, wrote that his office will not investigate the New Black Panther case specifically but is initiating a broader review of how the Justice Department enforces voting rights laws.

The letter, released by both congressional offices, said the review will focus on what types of cases the civil rights division's voting section brings and whether it enforces the law "in a non-discriminatory manner."...

I watched Megyn Kelly after she interviewed Adams, and she seemed to think that there were much bigger issues than the Panther case going on at the DOJ. Those videos just opened a big can of worms. I'll be interested to see where this goes. Apparently something fishy is also going on with military voting.

The military voting is one thing. So is motor voter non-enforcement of all rules. There are more...

Who Will Investigate the Investigators?
Another voter fraud scandal involving the Justice Department.By JOHN FUND

J. Christian Adams,, a former career Justice Department lawyer who resigned recently to protest political interference in cases he worked on, made some news yesterday in testimony before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

As expected, he claimed that Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, an Obama appointee, overruled a unanimous recommendation by six career Justice attorneys for continued prosecution of members of the New Black Panther Party on charges of voter intimidation in an incident I detailed here yesterday. But Mr. Adams leveled an even more explosive charge beyond the Panther case. He testified that last year Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes made a jaw-dropping announcement to attorneys in Justice's Voting Rights section. She said she would not support any enforcement of a key section of the federal "Motor Voter" law -- Section 8, which requires states to periodically purge their voter rolls of dead people, felons, illegal voters and those who have moved out of state.

According to Mr. Adams, Justice lawyers were told by Ms. Fernandes: "We're not interested in those kind of cases. What do they have to do with helping increase minority access and turnout? We want to increase access to the ballot, not limit it."

If true, Ms. Fernandes was endorsing a policy of ignoring federal law and encouraging potential voter fraud. Ms. Fernandes was unavailable for comment yesterday, but the Justice Department has issued a statement accusing Mr. Adams of "distorting facts" in general and having a political agenda...

It never ceases to amaze me when people in politics accuse others in politics of having a "political agenda". Without an "agenda" people would not demand investigations and file lawsuits. They would sit at home and whine about it on the internet. lol

So, let me get this straight: The DOJ not only refuses to prosecute blatant voter intimidation with free elections and inalienable rights being founding principles of our country, but the DOJ will go after rednecks who kill a few extra deer?

Feds target 60 hunters in Kansas hunting probe

By ROXANA HEGEMAN, Associated Press Writer 12 hours, 25 minutes ago

WICHITA, Kan. (AP)&#8212;The Justice Department is targeting more than 60 hunters across the nation for allegedly poaching deer during guided hunts at Camp Lone Star in Kansas, a court document shows.
....
&#8220;The state of Kansas has paid out over $100,000 to independent contractors to thin the Kansas deer herd for management purposes,&#8221; Kerns said in an e-mail. &#8220;And now our tax money is being spent making federal cases out of alleged rednecks who supposedly harvest an extra deer.&#8221;

And lest we not forget the great "Kindle Controversy" which has been tearing this great country apart.

Did you know the Justice Department threatened several universities with legal action because they took part in an experimental program to allow students to use the Amazon Kindle for textbooks?

Last year, the schools -- among them Princeton, Arizona State and Case Western Reserve -- wanted to know if e-book readers would be more convenient and less costly than traditional textbooks. The environmentally conscious educators also wanted to reduce the huge amount of paper students use to print files from their laptops.

It seemed like a promising idea until the universities got a letter from the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, now under an aggressive new chief, Thomas Perez, telling them they were under investigation for possible violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
